So everyone in the middle east hates us and there is NOTHING we can do to make them like us?

Seems like we’ve made some good progress in Iraq. Do you really think it was linked to our terminology about the motives behind a splodeydope?

We could extricate ourselves from Mecca. Wasn’t that the original purported basis for complaint? I don’t know how legitimate the complaint was, or how much effect we’d really have if we complied, but at least if you drove at that subject you’d have a semblance of a point.

As opposed to the utter lack of a point you’re making here.
